The November 4th elections will be a huge moment for the working-class agenda. More than anywhere else in New York, every Long Island vote will count. for issues like the minimum wage, school funding, and the DREAM Act.

We're going big this year to build and mobilize community power: we're looking for dozens of paid canvassers for our non-partisan Get Out the Vote operation! We are also hiring one part-time HR assistant. Click the postings below to apply:

After months of planning and a workshop series that mobilized 350 community members to build a People's Platform for the future of the Hempstead Schools, all of our coalition work has led to this: launching and executing a powerful non-partisan Get Out the Vote campaign with our amazing volunteers!

With a packed legislative agenda in New York State this year, our lobbying efforts are more important than ever. This training offers partner non-profits the opportunity to learn how, as non-profit organizations, we can effectively advance issues and policies that connect with our core missions.

On March 20th, at 3pm, join the Long Island Civic Engagement Table, the Health and Welfare Council of Long Island, and Alliance for Justice for a great training on the rules of the road for NY lobbying!

Redistricting is neither red, nor blue

Elections are about choice. At least, they're supposed to be. But for many Nassau County residents, the choice in our elections is made before we even get to the polls.

That's because the process that determines the shape of our county legislative districts -- redistricting -- is controlled by political appointees who owe their designations to the political parties. A report recently released by the Nassau United Redistricting Coalition concluded that given the opportunity, both Republican and Democratic partisans will gerrymander legislative lines to gain advantage and protect incumbents.
